Abstract

Computationally implemented methods and systems include monitoring one or more properties of a device configured to carry out one or more services, determining one or more services that require access to a particular portion of the device, said determining at least partly based on the monitored one or more properties of the device, and facilitating presentation, to the device, of the determined one or more services that require access to the particular portion of the device, and are configured to be carried out by the device, wherein the one or more services are presented along with a request for access to the particular portion of the device. In addition to the foregoing, other aspects are described in the claims, drawings, and text.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system, comprising:
circuitry configured for receiving permission to monitor a location of a device, the device configured to carry out one or more services;
circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device;
circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device;
circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to a particular portion of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device; and
circuitry configured for facilitating presentation, to the device, of the determined one or more picture services requiring access to the particular portion of the device, the presentation including at least a request for access to the particular portion of the device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to a particular portion of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to picture data stored on the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to a particular portion of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to an image capturing component of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to a particular portion of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services operable to request a user of the device to upload at least one picture captured using an image capturing component of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services operable to request a user of the device to upload at least one picture captured using an image capturing component of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services operable to request a user of the device to upload at least one picture captured using an image capturing component of the device or at least partly based on one or more locations of interest determined by the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device as being visited by the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for determining that the device is visiting at least one location for which at least one interest in receiving at least one picture associated with the at least one location has been expressed by at least one entity in communication with at least one of the device or the one or more picture services.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for facilitating presentation, to the device, of the determined one or more picture services requiring access to the particular portion of the device, the presentation including at least a request for access to the particular portion of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for facilitating presentation, via the device, of at least one request of the one or more picture services to provide access to the particular portion of the device, including at least one request for a user of the device to direct an image capturing component of the device towards at least one point of interest proximate to the device and upload at least one picture of the at least one point of interest proximate to the device captured using the image capturing component of the device.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for facilitating presentation, to the device, of the determined one or more picture services requiring access to the particular portion of the device, the presentation including at least a request for access to the particular portion of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for causing the device to provide a user notification that the device is in proximity of at least one location associated with at least one interest in receiving at least one picture via the one or more picture services, the user notification including at least one request to at least one user of the device to upload to the one or more picture services at least one picture captured using an image capturing component of the device; and
circuitry configured for uploading at least one picture to the one or more picture services after a user of the device has captured at least one picture using the image capturing component of the device.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein circuitry configured for determining one or more picture services requiring access to a particular portion of the device at least partly based on the circuitry configured for monitoring the location of the device and at least partly based on the circuitry configured for determining one or more of at least one light condition or at least one weather condition present at the location of the device comprises:
circuitry configured for receiving at least one request from the one or more picture services, the at least one request originating from the one or more picture services at least partly based on the monitored location of the device and at least partly based on at least one light condition detected by at least one light sensor of
